While The Covenant With Black America has sparked a publishing phenomenon, a group of scholars and activists affiliated with Tavis Smiley are hoping that its popularity will motivate Blacks to achieve an awareness of democratic action that will result in meaningful social activism.

The Covenant With Black America, a 254-page book organized by TV/radio talk show host and activist Tavis Smiley, is a national plan of action that has created a buzz across the country by tackling the gritty problems that face Black America with gutsy solutions.

Tavis Smiley's The Covenant With Black America zoomed to the top spot on The Times nonfiction paperback list because "he really hawked that book," says Janet Hill, vice president and executive editor with Doubleday.
